Just some rants about things I find awkward in everyday life interacting with random people.

Bathroom Barmy

Barmy is actually a word by the way. I was thinking today about a good topic then when I entered the bathroom during a break for class I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of such an obvious choice this week of blogging. BATHROOMS! It hit me as I was entering the bathroom during the break of my two hour long English class. Bear in mind while reading this that I am not a creepy looking or intimidating guy. I enter first and there are four possible standing receptacles. One is two low and it's on the far right, so I choose the one 2nd to the farthest right. Like so (O O X o) X being me. So then two of my class mates enter behind me. Normally when this situation arises the next person up will skip a receptacle and it's a done deal. The complication comes with the third person, being forced to pee next to someone else. Because we all know if there are open receptacles and a guy comes up and starts peeing next to you, it aint right. Its just like unspoken guy code to just not take the receptacle next to someone. So, the 2nd student walks in and goes straight for the toilets behind the receptacles. Kinda unexpected but no biggee, but then i hear him start urinating. So this threw me off a bit. Then the third guy does the SAME THING. Then I was mind fucked. Was I missing something? Since when did people start peeing in the toilet stalls when there are open receptacles? So I finished and I got out of there. I looked at them when that got back into class and we had an awkward tension moment. Why did they not take the open ones? I still do not know. But next time I am going to stand in the middle during break so I don't get lonely while peeing :P

Some guys are just so mega-pee shy that the thought of whippin' it out around a stranger at all gives them the shivers. I always chuckle to myself when somebody opts for the stall over the urinal, just to get a bit of privacy. Some guys just don't want you catching a look at their junk, period.
